D&C 42
The Lord established as an integral part of His law -
"...that it shall not be given to any one to go forth to preach my gospel, or to build up my church, except he be ordained by some one who has authority, and it is known to the church that he has authority and has been regularly ordained by the heads of the church." (Doctrine and Covenants 42:11)
I believe that this was new doctrine in that day and continues to be today.
